The wireless version of the ShaftAlign system is said to be the first wireless system in its segment on the market. The optional Bluetooth-based module makes measurement and alignment tasks more convenient by eliminating cable tangles that can interfere with…
The New Optisonic 3400 ultrasonic flowmeter is a three-beam, inline device that can be used for both standard and more demanding applications, in terms of process temperature, pressure and high viscosity. This new multipurpose flowmeter offers bi-directional flow measurement independent…
Steute Industrial Controls Inductive sensors for operation in hazardous zones The new line of ATEX-IECEx-certified inductive sensors (photo) is designed for use in Zone 0 and 20 explosive atmospheres and extreme environments. Units are available in M8, M12, M18 and…
Rotary equipment, such as centrifugal pumps, often represent the heart of plants in the chemical process industries (CPI). A critical factor in the longterm reliability of such equipment is a high-quality design and commissioning process, so that initially, the rotary…
Modeling and simulation are at the heart of chemical engineering design and operations today, whether it is using traditional process flowsheeting tools, computational fluid dynamics, advanced process-modeling environments, or specific equipment design packages (Figure 1). However, much of this modeling…
Last month, this company today announced the release of gSOLIDS 3.0, an integrated drag & drop graphical flowsheeting environment for process engineers and scientists in industries where particulate processes play an integral part, such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, agrochemicals,…
This ready-to-connect oxidator box (photo) operates on the basis of a high-performance, flexibly configured mass-flow controller. The compact system can automatically regulate the gas quantity needed for oxidation based on different process parameters, to achieve optimal results with minimum gas…
Raw materials and energy represent two of the largest expenses in the chemical process industries (CPI). Energy reduction is necessary to sustain cost-effective production and manage capacity in the ever-changing CPI marketplace. Process simulation software can prove extremely valuable in…
The new Ethernet/IP WirelessHART gateway is fully integrated into Logix from Rockwell, making it the company’s default WirelessHART gateway. However, other process control systems that support communication via Ethernet/IP can also be connected to the new gateway. The high…
The LiquiSonic analyzer (photo) now complies with the increased electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements proposed under the Namur Recommendation NE 21. NE 21 requires that the devices used in laboratory and process control are immune to interference. With the EMC conformity,…
